The Turin Horse Reviews
New York Post
V.A. Musetto
A sumptuous masterpiece by one of the greatest moviemakers of all time.
New York Times
A.O. Scott
Displays Mr. Tarr's uncompromising, atavistic commitment to darkness, difficulty and lapidary pictorial sublimity.
Boston Globe
Mark Feeney
"The Turin Horse" is a parable, which means it's both very simple and very weighty. It's not about event and emotion, but duration and endurance.
Washington Post
Stephanie Merry
An intentionally monotonous look at the lives of a farmer and his daughter. Strange events signal the end is nigh, but it approaches at the pace of a lethargic inchworm.
Los Angeles Times
Betsy Sharkey
Starkly beautiful and exceedingly demanding, "The Turin Horse," which Hungarian master Béla Tarr has said will be his last film, is both easy and impossible to define.
New York Daily News
Joe Neumaier
If ... one has a need to cleanse their palate of even indie fare that seems familiar and cookie-cutter, this immersive, contemplative, black-and-white film may, in its way, be invigorating.
AV Club
Scott Tobias
Astonishingly powerful on its own uncompromising terms.
ARTINFO.com
J. Hoberman
This great poem on the end of the world is truly a film for the ages. It can't really be described, but only lived.
Chicago Reader
Ignatiy Vishnevetsky
Through Tarr's meticulous vision, these ordinary hardships take on cosmic weight; this is tedium vividly rendered.
NPR
Mark Jenkins
The Turin Horse is an absolute vision, masterly and enveloping in a way that less personal, more conventional movies are not. The film doesn't seduce; it commands.
Village Voice
Nick Pinkerton
Tarr, who is only 56, claims The Turin Horse as his last film, and it's hard to imagine a follow-up.
New Yorker
Richard Brody
Tarr turns the particular universal; this family's subsistence reflects ordeals faced daily throughout the world, even today...
Salon.com
Andrew O'Hehir
Watching them is something like visiting the world's most fantastic art museum and taking an ice-cold shower, both at the same time.
Esquire Magazine
Calum Marsh
Strangely hypnotic, even mesmerizing.
Laramie Movie Scope
Robert Roten
This film seems to imply that non-existence is preferable to existence. Some people feel that way, but I wish they would keep it to themselves and not inflict this on others through this kind of media.
Hollywood Reporter
Ray Bennett
Monotonous and repetitive, the black-and-white production runs 146 very long minutes as the two go about their mind-numbing daily routines accompanied by a sonorous musical dirge that is as relentless as the ferocious winds outside.
L.A. Weekly
Mike D'Angelo
No movie could possibly live up to the monumental, forbidding grandeur of The Turin Horse's lengthy opening shot, but [Bela Tarr]... goes ahead and attempts the impossible, and comes frighteningly close to succeeding.
Variety
Peter Debruge
The answers are a mystery, but no detail, however mundane, is accidental in Tarr's meticulously constructed allegory.
ColeSmithey.com
Cole Smithey
"The Turin Horse" is an existential provocation to its audience, demanding that we consider the effect of man's judgments against nature and ultimately against ourselves.
Slant Magazine
Andrew Schenker
Béla Tarr is the cinema's greatest crafter of total environments and in The Turin Horse, working in his most restricted physical setting since 1984's Almanac of Fall, he dials up one of his most vividly immersive milieus.
